Romanian PM90

Hi

I thought I would post some pictures of my Romanian PM90. I'll be honest, I think this is one of the ugliest AK designs out there (I mean, as in factory produced 'ugly', not Iraqi chop shop specials etc!).

Having just a barrel nut and not flash hider in my view adds to its overall lack of looks.

However, it does point well with the front vertical grip.

I look at it along side my AKS74U and Yugo M92 and they are hands down much nicer looking shorty 'AKs'. (I'll post pictures of them in the next few days)

But I'm sure there are fans out there that like the the look of this short Romy AK, so I would be interested to get your thoughts.

Kind regards,
Mike

Agreed. For me, it's the dong and the wire stock. Replace those two items, and I think you have a sexy little AK.
That’s a sexy little flamethrower you got there.

I've kinda been looking for a parts kit for one. I think they look awesome.

Classis short barrel Romanian OP. Yours looks mint. I like the different versions each country came up with.

When Midway had some cheap Pm.90 full size kits a few years ago I bought a bunch. I've built a few so far and love them.

Hi JeepFan

The full sized ones look much better, although I'm still not a fan of the wire stock or the front pistol grip, but as I said in my original post, they do point well with that forward grip (my AMD-65 also points well for the same reason).

I definitely prefer the wooden stock on your top one compared to the folder examples. With all those bits available to grab when the stock is folded I am never quiet sure of the best way to pick it up...

My shorty PM90 is mint (and not refurbished).

Kind regards,
Mike

I prefer my standard non dong fore grip AK or AKM rifles too, especially for looks. I do like using a c clamp type grip on Romy dongs forward or reverse, it gives me better control.

I really don't mind the wire side folder but I'm also one of those nuts that like under folders. The 100 series is my favorite side folder followed by the triangle side folder.

The short Md90s have always had some allure to me. The wire stocks aren’t great to shoot but I’ve always love the look along with the underfolders. I built my Draco into a Pm90 clone with the dong grip and wire folder. Fun little blaster. I did put a small FH on it.

youve got a beautiful example. Enjoy it!

Where did you get your kit?

I'd like to compare a short Pm.90 to a full size. Current kit prices have me building what I bought. I might as well post some of my nearly completed AOA early 1960s underfolder reverse dong builds,

The md90 AIMR clone has a uniqueness to it that other countries sbrs don’t. It’s one of my favorite.
